Takeoff and landing are always the riskiest parts of a flight. When you add in challenging conditions, the risk increases. However, things like high mountains, steep cliffs, beaches, and busy main roads don’t seem to bother pilots or travelers. Make sure to fasten your seat belts because here we have the eight most dangerous airports in the world!

One airport has a runway very close to a beach where tourists like to swim and sunbathe. While there has never been a serious accident, the gas from the aircraft engines can be particularly dangerous for people. When asked why Early St. Martin hasn’t relocated the airport, the answer is clear: it’s considered the safest place on the island for flights!
